The Spinning Motor Drawings

More random acts of art are occurring here at my place after lessons are done! My husband an daughter rigged up a small spinning motor (a garage sale find) with a bunch of my recycled containers saved for art classes, and made themselves a spinning drum. Then all they had to do was attach some paper, break out the markers, and go!

Their experiments included straight and wavy lines, different color groupings, and masking areas before beginning their drawings. Sharpies were the marker of choice. We have quite a collection! Here are a few in the spinning motor series. Enjoy!

Welcome. I am an artist, mother of two, art educator and blogger. While on my adventures I share my passion for art education with you. Positive Space refers to the space occupied by an element or form in an artwork. It is also the name of my studio, because my main goal is for it to be a supportive place for creativity and growth. Read on about my experiences, lesson plans, and successes. And please visit often!
